(KAIR)--Details are released regarding a Friday evening two vehicle Atchison County crash that sent three to the hospital and left a driver cited for driving too fast for the heavy rain conditions at the time the crash occurred.
Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, in a release, says it happened on U.S. Highway 73, south of Rooks Road, when a Ford Mustang, driven southbound on the highway by 26-year-old Leavenworth resident Taylor Cobb, hydroplaned on the rain-soaked highway.
That caused Cobb to lose control of the car, which crossed into the northbound lane where it crashed head-on into a northbound car driven by 20-year-old Atchison resident Nathaniel Daniel.
According to Smith, both Cobb and Daniel, along with a passenger in Daniel's car, were transported to both Amberwell Atchison and Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, Missouri, for hospital treatment of what Smith calls suspected serious, but non life-threatening, injuries.
Cobb was issued a citation for driving too fast for conditions.
The crash happened shortly before 8:30 Friday evening.
